Robin of Cambridge is quite correct,I spelt Massingberd incorrectly.I was merely commenting on what a delightful man he was.I only knew him on the cricket pitch many years ago.
Just a point,it is didn't not did'nt!!
EDWARD SYNGE, TISBURY, UK
I would imagine, having just read Hugh Massingberd's obituary, that his cricket isn't up to much right now
Warwick Pearmund, Tokyo,
"Ship me somewheres east of Suez
Where the best is like the worst
Where there ain't no Ten Commandments
And a man can raise a thirst..."
And with any luck get the apostrophe right. Us dyslexics have got to stick together.
Andrew Milner, Yokohama, Japan
Dear Edward
Why would ANYBODY be interested that you knew Massingberd played cricket, still less that you did'nt know how to spell his name?
Robin, Cambridge, UK
Massingbird gets it right as usual,what a joy he is.(Incidently ,hows your cricket?)
